provided that such increase in size does not in any way further contravene any of
the regulations of this By-law. Where such increase in size reduces the extent of
an existing contravention or discrepancy, the resulting new lesser contravention or
discrepancy is deemed to be legally non-complying.
3.21 NON-CONFORMING USE
1.
Should an existing legally non-conforming building, structure, or use be damaged
or destroyed by accidental fire or natural disaster that is beyond the capacity of
the owner/occupant to control, nothing shall prevent such building or structure

height, size and/or volume of the building are not increased; that the building is
reconstructed at its prior location on the lot; and provided further that the use is
not altered or changed.

taken by a public body, the residual lot shall not lose its legally non-conforming
status through such action.
3.
Except as provided for in this Section, so long as any land, building, or structure
remains as a legally non-conforming use, none of the relevant zone regulations
apply. Use will be limited entirely to those buildings and/or structures as they
existed on the date of passing of this By-law, and such alterations as are provided
for hereafter in this Section.
4.
Where a non-conforming use is converted into a legally permitted use, or where a
non-conforming use has been abandoned or otherwise terminated; all future use
of the lands, buildings, and/or structures shall be in accordance with this By-law,
and any previous legally non-conforming status shall no longer exist. Where such
conversion to a permitted use exists, any legally existing building or structure shall
be deemed to be legally non-complying with respect to any discrepancy to any
regulation or requirement that is not met at the date of such conversion.
5.
Nothing herein shall prevent the maintenance, repair, or strengthening of a legally
non-conforming use to a safe condition.

provided that all yard and setback requirements are complied with.
8.
Where any lot, building, or structure was used at January 1st, 1980 for a use that is

been a legally conforming use as of that date, provided that the lot, building, or
structure continues to be used for that purpose.
9.
Where any land, building, or structure was used at January 1st, 1980 for a purpose
